Critically acclaimed and a distinguished winner at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival! Set in Arizona, this is the story of two Native American boys on a journey. Victor is the stoic handsome son of an alcoholic father who has abandoned his family. Thomas is a gregarious goofy young man who lost both his parents in a fire at a very young age. When Victor's estranged father dies, the two men embark on an adventure to Phoenix to collect the ashes. You're in for a rare entertaining comic treat as this most unlikely pair leave home on what becomes an unexpectedly unforgettable adventure of friendship and discovery. "Smoke Signals" is the first movie to be written, directed, and co-produced by a Native American.
